Daryl Hannah: 'Arrest won't stop me from protesting pipeline'

Daryl Hannah has insisted that her recent arrest won't halt her efforts to protest the Keystone XL oil pipeline.

The Kill Bill actress was arrested on Tuesday outside the White House as she led a rally against the proposed pipeline, which would stretch from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. She was eventually released from custody after paying a fine.

Hannah has now revealed that she will continue to urge US President Barack Obama to block the pipeline's construction.

"I want to add my body and my voice to the thousands of others who are laying themselves on the line and saying, 'No, we do not want to be party to this incredibly destructive path'," the star told Canada AM.

"We're becoming more dependent on fossil fuels and now we're becoming dependent on the most dirty of the fossil fuels, which is the tar sands fuel."

Hannah went on to say: "We want clean, safe regenerative energy - solar, wind, geothermal, microhydro. We have so much ability to create our own power here in the States and that's what we want our money to go to."

Hannah also suggested that her fellow protestors are unafraid of further clashes with police, saying: "There have been hundreds of people arrested over the last week and a half, and more to come in the next few days."
